Post 27 closes at River Bandits Tournament
The Plymouth Post 27 baseball team closed out the River Bandits Tournament of Champions with an 0-3 finish over the weekend, falling twice to Napoleon, Ohio and once to Sandusky, Ohio at Defiance College in Defiance, Ohio.
The Diamond Spyders suffered a pair of shutouts to Napoleon sandwiched around an 18-1 shelling at the hands of Sandusky.
Their first loss came Saturday in a disappointing 1-0 decision to Napoleon. Tyler LaFollette gave up just two hits and one walk in seven innings of work for Post 27, but Napoleon punished him for two hit batsmen in the fifth. Austin Hancock was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, and he stole home with one out for the game’s only run.
The Spyders managed four hits against Napoleon’s Tyler Batt, including two by Shay Hepler, but left five runners on base in the seven-inning loss.
In Plymouth’s second game of the weekend, Sandusky shelled the Post 27 pitching staff of Jacob Frantz, Riley Cartwright and Tanner Hampton for 17 hits, plating 18 runs in five innings.
The Spyders started strong with a solo shot from Eric Knepper in the first, but that proved to be their lone run as Sandusky jumped ahead with a two-run bottom of the inning, then plated 12 in the second to break the game wide open.
The Spyders closed Sunday the way they began Saturday, with another shutout loss to Napoleon, this time an 8-0 defeat in five innings.
Tanner Hampton went 3-for-3 for three of Plymouth’s six hits in the loss, and Drew McDonald doubled in the fifth.
Napoleon scored seven runs in the second on the strength of five hits, a walk and a hit batter facing Kyle Liedtky.
Post 27 returns home to Bill Nixon Field for a game against the Ajax Baseball Club from Ontario on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Spyders then play host at the Patriot Tournament Thursday through Sunday, opening tourney play against Crawfordsville Post 72 on July 4. They’ll play a rematch with Ajax Club in a three-team doubleheader Friday.
